Air America/ABC News just (less than 30 minutes ago) announced that many more troops are planned than the original 20,000. Confirmation to be announced tomorrow by the President.
And PS I just heard from a friend from the community that most of the 2nd Marine Division pulled out from Camp Lejeune to serve as Headquarters Company in Iraq this week. I don't have the figure for the number in this Division, but I will check to see if I can corroborate the deployment and the number of Marines.
It does appear that the Division is pulling or have pulled out of Camp Lejeune (NC) according to their website.
I think this is so sad, we need ot bring them all home and protect our on borders, and let them fight their own war.
I really feel bad for all the families out their that have to say goodbye to their husbands, fathers, brothers, sisters, moms, and any family member that has to go over there and fight for what????? I say they can do that here on there own land. We all ready lost enough people, bring them home.
It appears that many, including me, feel this way. We'll have a better idea of what the President proposes tomorrow--right now most of the talk is anonymous and difficult to understand out of context.
Also Senators Kennedy and Reed are both making open statements about their opposition--although their approaches appear different.

Bush refuses to see that our continued presence is further destabilizing the area.

Words fail me. And all that's coming from the White House is more of the same- basically, if you disagree with our Fearless Leader, you are a traitor and un-American.
What has happened in this country the last six years defies explanation, and continues to do so. I feel like PNAC and the neocons' egos are driving this country off the edge of a cliff.
